Most of a home’s energy consumption is spent on heating and cooling, and the insulated barrier of spray foam helps minimize that energy usage. This is one of the main reasons for lower utility bills, and it also reduces carbon footprints and helps protect our environment.

Up to 40% of a building’s air infiltration is caused by nooks and crannies where energy is lost, including leaks under sill plates, around window and wall outlets, duct runs, and more. Spray foam insulation seals these leaks, and as a result, decreases energy loss.

It’s important to note that spray foam insulation does not replace the need for a quality HVAC system. However, it’s a great complement to any existing system and can help you achieve optimal energy efficiency through reduced HVAC sizing.

Another benefit of spray foam insulation is its sound-absorbing properties. While it is not as effective as a soundproofing product, it does significantly limit the amount of noise that travels between rooms. This helps create a more peaceful environment and can be particularly helpful for homeowners with young children.

In addition to its insulating properties, spray foam also acts as an air sealant and can help reduce humidity levels within a home or building. In fact, spray foam is so effective in sealing air leaks that it can be used to prevent moisture damage, mold, mildew, and pest infestation.
